how i give the path for wordlist by usb

hi and sorry for asking, i search in google and i didn't found HOW..
so, i have my wordlists in a usb and i don't anderstand how i must write the path! please someone tell me exactly the command... thanks and sorry for my english

You need to mount the usb first "assuming your on a dvd, vmware, or hard drive install".

First you need to find out what your device is, easy way to do this is to load up gparted, open a console window type gparted and look for the drive / partition that matches your usb. Once you find it take note of label i.e. /dev/*

Lets say for this its /dev/sdb1 we now need to mount it, there is already a folder for usb but you should understand that you can mount a drive to any folder so lets make one. Open another console window and do this.

mkdir /mnt/usb2

Now lets mount it

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb2

Pretty simple no ? .. lets just check that its mounted
ls /mnt/usb2

And now just feed your application the path to your wordlist like so.

/mnt/usb2/folder/morefilders/wordlist.txt

Enjoy, but im going to say this in closing, if you cant even figure some of the most basic linux operations, you should really consider using another distro for a few weeks first.

Using backtrack for the first time is like being 10 years old again with the keys to a Ferrari.
